FAQs
Can I use pre-cooked chicken instead of raw chicken breasts?
Yes, but add pre-cooked chicken during the last hour of cooking to prevent overcooking and drying out the chicken.
Is it possible to make this soup in an Instant Pot?
Yes, you can adapt the recipe for an Instant Pot by cooking on the poultry or soup setting for about 15 minutes, then adding pasta and cooking for an additional 5 minutes on high pressure.
